sIx-MILE RESERVOIR.
Lumber Men Cut the Banks to Obtain
Water to Float Their Logs to
Market-The Governor
at the Scene.

COLUMBUS, O., May 1S.-Governor
Foraker to-day received the following
telegram from o. s. Applegate,
citizen of Antwerp, Paulding Coonty:
yesterday afternoon reservoir cut
again. Water flooding the country.
Fifty men on their way to close the
cut. What protection may we expect?"
The Governor answered as follows:
"Stop the cut and preserve the prop
erty. You shall have any protection
you may need. will go to Antwerp
this afternoon.
~. B. FORAKER.
The Governor is of the opinion that
the cutting was not done mallclously.
Six-AIile Creek, south of the reservoir,
is filled with logs, and it is thought the
water was let out of the reservoir by
parties desiring to float these logs into
the canal, so they can get them out for
their own use. The Governor left for
Antwerp this afternoon.
TOLEDO, O., May l8.-The cutting of
the Paulding reservoir by the lumber
men who represent Defiance interests
has raised storm in, Paulding county,
where the former depredators lived,
and much criticism of G. A. Flickinger
of the Board of Public Works, who
| lives in Defiance, and who has been ac'
cused of winking at the transgression
of his fellow townsmen. Mr.. Flick
niger was in the city to-day and said:
II have sent an inspector to examine
the cut without delay. 1 want to say
to you and the people of Pauldine
county, that no one has ever received
permission from the Board of Public
Works to cut the bank. | am for the
preservation of the canals, and timber
men and dynamiters alike must recog
nize that the reservoir is the State
property. If any of the agents or th'
employees of the Board of Public Work
have granted permission to cut tn
banks, we want to know it at once"
DEFIANCE, O., May 19.-Governo
Foraker, accompanied by Chief Engi
neer Bachtell, spent the forenoon il
this city, personally inquiring into tn
canal trouble. They went to ANTWERP
and the reservoir this afternoon, and t
your reporter, Governor Foraker sal,
: he proposed to make a most thoroug
investigation of this matter, not accept
ing statements, but to personally in
spect the ground and make recommer
dations upon his observations
Although promises to cease hostilitle
have been made, it is about as hard fo
the people of Paulding county to le
the reservoir alone as for duck t
: keep out of water.

0utrages by Liquor Men.

Advices from Mount Bridges,

lists there, owing to several outrag-
es committed by liquor men on
clergymen and others who have
been crusading against the saloons
and enforcing the Canada Temper
ance Act. The house of Inspector
Robertson was broken into at
night, the windows and furniture
smashed, and two shots fred with
revolver, terrifying the inmates,
who were afraid to venture down
stairs. The house of Rev. Mr.. Sill
cox was visited, but the marauders
were frightened off. The next vic
tim was Rev. J. E. Moore, a Meth
odist clergyman, President of the
Temperance Alliance. All the
windows in the front Of the house
were smashed, and shot was fred
at Mr.. Moore. Threats have been
made to burn the houses OF all per-
sons who make any further at
tempt to enforce the temperance
act.-NeW Era.

statement which is going the
rounds of the press to the effect
that Miss Adelaide Sherman is
National Superintendent of Rail
Road Work, with Miss Jennie
Smith as her Secretary.
We really think this unnecessa-
~, since Everybody" but few ed
itors, knows, that Miss Jennie
Smith stands at the head of Rail
Road Work, being National Su-
perintendent of that Department
with Miss Sherman as her Secreta-
nv. The mistaken statement orig
mated in the Conceivable { Pa

this item, marked, which will
straighten the tangle.
The Freeman has been the recip-
lent lately, of special compliments
from the National Corresponding
Secretary and the editor of the

the compliments, but will explain
that doubtless the occasion for
them il the absence of the editor
in-chief" at our State Capital, and
we will modestly lay claim to all
the creditable articles and "tuck"
upon few friends who have aided
US in his absence, those not 80 de-
serving.

of the Intelhgencer was converted
